Bern, the capital of Switzerland, was founded in 1191. The city is renowned for its well-preserved Old Town, which is nestled on a peninsula surrounded by the Aare River. One of Bern’s most iconic landmarks is the Zytglogge, a 13th-century clock tower with an astronomical clock that delights visitors with its mechanical figures. The Bern Minster (Berner Münster), Switzerland’s tallest cathedral, is another architectural gem, featuring a stunning Gothic façade and intricate stained-glass windows. For art and architecture enthusiasts, the Zentrum Paul Klee, designed by Renzo Piano, blends modern architecture with nature, while the Rosengarten offers panoramic views of the Old Town’s distinctive red-roofed buildings.
